Mitchell Explains
Tax Bill Figures
Tax Collector Robert G. Mitchell
made a. statement this morning that
he had nothing whatever to do with
figuring the amounts on the tax
bills sent out this Week. nor has he
done so in the past. The making
up of the rate back each year is in
the hands of the city clerk. who. ac.
cording to the charter. must. figure
the sum which each lupus-.1- will
pay the city from the books of the
assessors made up nearly a )car ago.
The rate book is then turned over
to the tax collector. who makes out
the bills and see that they reach
the property owners in ample time
to pay same before the interest per-
iod begins. which will be after .\'0-

Dunbar Predicts ,
Donovan Election
Attorney Jesse T.‘Dunbar. chair-

"If we are to believe what we
hear," said Attorney Dunbar, "from
the people of all political opinions,
it. Would seem as though Donovan
and. his ticket. would carry the First
and Fourth wards by a: large ma-
Jorities as he carried these wards
four years ago. lie and his asso-
ciates should carry the Second hard
by a comfortable matiority and will
in all probability carry the Fifth

waiting. Her bromer. in law. Ralph -
Ward. was the ant to bring mama.
lugs to her.
“Thank God. " shc murmured and
sank into Ralph’s arms.
The trial was the climax of a
long series of events in connection
with the killing.
I’ctcrs‘ body was found and there
was scarcely a. paragraph‘s mention
of the incident in the newspapers.
A few days later the body was iden-
tified. He was a. “nobody" and that
incident also virtually escaped notice.
Then a. tow days later, “'ard's at- .
Lorneys came forward with a. state-
ment: that. \Vard had killed Peters
in self defense as the result of a
blackmail plot against \"ard.
Then the case leaped into promin—
ence. The son of the wealthy baker
was indicted. Investigation after in—
vestigation was carried on by various
authorities The first indictment was
dismissed. Then 06v ernor Smith cai-
lcd a. special grand Jury which again
returned an indictment. And In all
these proceedings the blackmail
charge was never bared. It was not
even bored at the trial. for the de-
fcnsc did not call a single witncss
and \l'ard was not placed on the
stand.
“'ard entered the court-room yes-
terday to learn his fate at 4:25
o'clock. Ills lawyers were at their
table. ncvously shuttling papers.
Ralph \l'ard his brother sat by his
side. Lawyers for the state loung-
ed in their nearby chairs. The hun-
dreds of spectators. filling every inch
of space, were on tlptoe and breath-
loss.
Justice “'aguer hurried in, his
lips parted in a smile. After him—the
jurors. twelve grim. serious-faced
men. As they were taking their
seats, Issaac )2 Mills, “'ard's white-
haJrcd.advocate, received a. flashed
tip of the verdict. He went to where
Ward stood and, whispering excited-
ly, wrung the young man‘s hand.

The defendant himself did not
seem to get the significance of his
aged counselors “words but Ralph
“'ard did. As Gerald Fitzcgeraid,
Court Clerk hastened through the
formula of receiving the verdict
“'ards- broad-shouldered brether
threw both arms bout him and kiss-
ed his cheek fervently. Then he turn-
ed and made his way through the
dense crowd to the outside room.
where Mrs. “ard was waiting for
the news. “'ard scarcely heeded his
brother's sanitation. so intent was
he on the words ofl‘itzgerald and
Chales H. Schelllhg. jury foreman.
"Gentlemen of the jury. have you
a verdict?" inquired Fitzgerald
quietly. his voice carrying distinctly
through the stifled room.
"We have " replied_ Schelliug In
husky tones.
“How find you, guilty or
guilty?" returned the clerk.
“Not guilty!" came the reply with-
out. a. pause.
\Burst or Applause.
Defying the warning of' Clerk Fit-
flgerald that the verdict must be re-
ceived in silence. applause started
in two sections of the room at: once.

and denounced their policies. The
rally started shortly after eight
o'clock when Judge Keogh W110
ed “‘illiam A. Reid.
Mr. Reid stated that it was a. great
pleasure {or him to be there last:
evening. as a. candidate for the office
of Councilman from the Third dis-
trict. He then said “a. few sears ago

catcd. If I am elected to the office
of Councilman from the Third dis-
trict. I intend to- do every thing in
my power for the Third district.
Streets in this district are in a de-
plorable condition. Nothing has been
done on Edlte avenue in three years
an din fact all of the streets in this
District are in need of repairs. If
elected. I won't be in office very
many hours. before I see that some-
thing is done about our streets and
if it isn't. I will know the reason
why.
-“On the School question, I think
that there should be a seat in school
for all children. I don‘t approve of
some schools being overcrowded and
some having vacant seats. I don.t
like to see one child in a family go up
to Norwalk to school and another to
South Norwalk and still another In
East Norwatk. Some sort of a sys-
tem should be established to care of
this matter.
"Speaking on roads again. I don’t

cost the city $3.00 a. yard to pave. as
the present administration is doing.
~If they would take some of the
money that they are spending over
there and bring it. over on East ave-
nue or Edlie. they would be doing
something. There has been nothing
.spent in this District on the streets
in the laSt two years."
M. J. Riordan spoke in part as fol-
lows:
"East Norwalk needs a good man
on the Council. Last year there was
a. great chance for an East Norwalk
man to beautify this section. with
the new park at Calf Pasture. but
nothing was done . They simply went
around in circles. and nothing was
accomplished. -
"You have had promises from
councilmcn from this District for
years to do something. well this time
let's put some onein there Who is
not afraid he will lose a vote at the
next election."
Judge Keogh then spoke along the
following lines:
“\V‘hen we go to the polls on cloc-
tlon day we will vote on a. proposed
constitutional amendment ,whlch
will give out. Governor power to veto
a part of any bill. Beretot'ore he has
always had to veto all of the hill. but
this new amendment will give him
the power that he should have and
that is to strike out certain parts of
bills that come before him for his
signature. “7e should stand behind
our Governor and give him this pow-
er. I am going tr vote ‘yes’ and I
think that. you all should."
"‘\Ve need more room in our
schools and again Iwould say vote
‘S'es‘ on the school bond issue."
Mr. Donovan spoke in part as fol—
lows:
“Ladies you know as much about
the running of the govd-nment as
some of the men. This city of 30.-
000 people. We are a city of work-
ers. Some part of‘every family is
sent: on to produce. If the taxes of
the city lire high then rents are high.
You people V110 pay rents don‘t think
that you have no reason to worry
about the taxes. because you are the
ones who have to pay the landlords."
